English lessons with FUN and passion : exam preparation (FCE / CAE / CPE / IELTS) / university classes (linguistics) / help with homework

From 53 £ /h

I graduated from the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching English, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels and with a variety of needs (general knowledge/terminology/for specific purposes), both individually and in groups.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

I will help you learn weird English spelling and pronunciation with fun. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for certificates such as KET / PET / FCE / CAE / CPE / IELTS / TOEFL
- I would love to help you prepare for university exams (linguistics / phonetics / history).

About Me

I am passionate about teaching and you will see it in the course of our lessons as they will be fun, yet very effective and as close to real life as possible. I am multilingual which means I have learned a lot of languages and this, in turns, helps me spot/understand the troublesome parts you will probably be going through - and I will do my best to facilitate it for you.

I am scholastic when it comes to correcting HW and leave a lot of comments, so you can understand what you did wrong.

I use a variety of materials (books/articles/youtube/quizlet, etc.) in the teaching process.
I have helped a lot of students achieve their goals (prepare efficiently for an interview, get FCE/CPE/IELTS, etc.) or simply have an interesting conversation with the view to improving pronunciation/grammar.

During the lesson we can use Skype/WhatsApp or any other communicator and Google Docs simultaneously for notes.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Do you really want to master past participle agreement? If so, discover how we will achieve this together.

Hello! My name is Juste. Passionate about words, writing and the transmission of languages, I live in Benin, a country where French is at the heart of daily life and business.

Target audience and prerequisites Designed for B2 level learners wishing to consolidate their knowledge and move to C1 level. An intermediate mastery of conjugation and grammatical analysis (identification of direct object, indirect object, subject) is required.

educational goals
-Apply without hesitation the classic agreement rules and their exceptions.
-Analyze the sentence structure to identify the exact function of the pronouns.
-Avoid common pitfalls in academic and professional writing.

Course program
-Fundamental rules and review: Agreement with être and avoir, management of the direct object placed before the verb.
-Pronominal verbs: Distinction between essentially pronominal verbs (systematic agreement) and occasionally pronominal verbs (analysis of the direct/indirect object).
-Past participle followed by an infinitive: Analysis of the subject of the action represented by the infinitive (e.g. the actors that I heard perform vs the play that I heard performed).

Special cases and invariability:
Impersonal verbs (the heat he experienced).
Past participles preceded by the pronoun "en" or by neuter pronouns.
Verbs of measurement, weight and price (literal vs figurative meaning).
Past participles used as prepositions (except, seen, understood).

Methodology The learning is based on an inductive approach: analysis of corpora of literary and journalistic texts, dissection of frequent errors, then practical application through rewriting exercises and targeted dictations.

This will be an opportunity to assess your level, define your priorities and design your customized program.
